While I do think Calvin makes a good point, I rather think playing baseball would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable than enlisting in the Army.

So long as the 2020 season is already twisted, maybe we can just play ball the Calvin & Hobbes way this year. Scoring this play would be interesting. Do you think this counts as two RBIs? Two hits in one at-bat?

Growing up, we frequently played using a tennis ball in the backyard. It made things so much more interesting.

I sometimes have wondered if the “brawls” that happen in baseball are merely the players’ way of breaking up the routine of daily games and keeping things interesting. Calvin and Hobbes certainly seem to enjoy the novelty.
